"Obviously we have been made aware of the tragic news developing in South Africa and Oscar Pistorius and the reported shooting of his girlfriend.

"SASCOC, like the rest of the public, knows no more than what is in the public domain, which is there has been an alleged fatal shooting on the basis of a mistaken identity and an apparent assumption of a burglary."
